THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
De Rhododendron is de nationale bloem van Nepal. Het is ook de staatsbloem van de Amerikaanse staten Washington en West Virginia en van de Indiase deelstaat Sikkim.
De Bond tegen vloeken stelde het woord "rododendron" voor als alternatief voor de bekende vloek. Het woord kan met dezelfde nadruk worden uitgesproken. Het voorstel werd weggehoond.

The Rhododendron is the national flower of Nepal. It is also the state flower of the US states of Washington and West Virginia and of the Indian state of Sikkim.
The Bond Against Curses suggested the word "rhododendron" as an alternative to the well-known curse. The word can be pronounced with the same emphasis. The proposal was dismissed.
From one of the last days of August by the lake. A very local mist appeared and only lasted for a short while before it disappeard, and I was lucky to be there in that moment.
It would be unfair to credit Uluşkışla town just with it’s nature and view. It is also splendid with it’s sky and milky-way. This photo has taken near by the dikmen road. I turned on the headlights for a second while I’m taking this using the technique light painting..
We are back at the East Coast for three days and have managed a window of WiFi…
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and hope to catch up if I manage to get online between dog walks :)
You tell me you don't love me over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away
I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by

.... not quite abandoned...
It was always hard to make a living in the Outer Hebrides. The remoteness and the limited opportunities have been luring the young to the mainland for jobs, education and more choice. As a result there are many abandoned houses on the islands. ... and sheep, always sheep! They are freely wandering the pastures, cliffs and the streets, precursors of the famous "Harris Tweed".

These are dried herbs. To keep the color on them for a long time, I pick whole branches with leaves and let them hang upside down in a dark, dry place with plenty of fresh air. In the jars at the top of the picture are dried leaves, then I pick only the leaves but they fade quickly, the taste and smell remain the same. These are rosemary, sage and thyme from my garden.

The river flows through Agder county from the mountains on the northeast side of the Setesdal valley in Valle municipality southwards, until it reaches the sea at the Tofdalsfjorden between Hamresanden and Kjevik in Kristiansand. The upper reaches of the river include many lakes such as the Herefossfjorden and the Straumsfjorden (the largest lake on the river). It drains about 1,800 square kilometres (690 sq mi) in territory and the highest point in the watershed is 1,101 metres (3,612 ft) above sea level. The drainage basin includes parts or all of the following municipalities: Fyresdal, Valle, Bygland, Evje og Hornnes, Åmli, Froland, Grimstad, Birkenes, Iveland, Lillesand, and Kristiansand

Frost, sunshine and morning combined to create this gently Gothic scene @ Bolton Abbey, NYorks, UK :-)
As I frequently use wide-angled lenses, I feel that my shots generally benefit from viewing after pressing L :-)
To all who view and/or comment on my pix; each is a help and a pleasure in equal measure. Thank you.

Won't be seeing those figures with our 'gear' in the depths of winter!
This was taken last Sunday and I was standing on the shore. I watched the news last night and we've had three days of warm temps in the high 40's and low 50's. Yesterday they did a time lapse of the ice and it melted and some sunk and some drifted off towards the north east and as of yesterday afternoon this was completely gone and just water. Amazing.
DMIR 403 and 215 shove a cut of freight cars into the E Yard at Proctor Yard on June 6, 2022. The St. Louis River Road bridge is always a nice evening shot and has been populated by a few more fans lately since 403 found its way out of Canada and back to Proctor late last month. Just like last fall, the day after 403 arrived at Proctor, it was put on the E Lead Switch Soon the 403-215 were paired together and here the maroons work the 17:00 E Lead at 20:30 a week ago.
Apart from framing and signature in Paintshop this is SOOC but I am puzzled at the arcs of colour in the sky. Perhaps someone could explain that to me. In Lightroom, where which I use to I transfer from the camera, these arcs cannot be seen. I have not seen this in any of my other shots.
Female Pronghorn and her fawn on a sunny fall afternoon. Changing seasons will soon bring winter weather to Yellowstone National Park, but for now the sun is warm, food is plentiful, and life is good.

A difficult subject, many things tried and discarded. Big ? until I remembered the almost new filter I bought a while ago. Here is the result!
I wish you a good start into the week, a successful Monday and stay healthy. Thank you for your visit, a comment is welcome and a star makes me happy.

Un sujet difficile, essayé de nombreuses fois et rejeté à nouveau. Super ? jusqu'à ce que je pense au filtre presque neuf, que j'ai acheté il y a quelques temps. Voici maintenant le résultat !
Je vous souhaite un bon début de semaine, un lundi réussi et restez en bonne santé. Merci de votre visite, un commentaire est le bienvenu et une étoile me fait plaisir.

Dikirion and trikirion were introduced into church use, probably not earlier than the IV-V centuries..Dikiri and trikiri are two hand-shaped figured lamps with cells for two and for three long candles. The illumination of people by the light that marks the Light of Christ and the Holy Trinity gives them special grace and testifies to them about the Divine light coming to people for their enlightenment, purification and sanctification..Photo taken during the consecration of the church in Moscow.
